Most church leaders are swimming in data they can't see clearly — attendance numbers in one system, giving in another, groups participation somewhere else. Churchlytics exists to change that. Founded by Josh Breland, a seminary-trained church communications leader, Churchlytics builds custom analytics dashboards that pull all of a church's ministry data into one beautiful, unified view.^1
The process is refreshingly simple: a 15-minute call to understand your church's context and felt needs, followed by a comprehensive data audit, and then custom dashboard development tailored to your exact situation.^1 Churchlytics helps church leaders track the metrics that matter most — service attendance trends, next-generation attendance, total giving, giving units, and groups participation — so they can make data-informed decisions rather than leading on gut instinct alone.^3
Breland brings a unique combination of ministry experience and technical expertise. He holds a degree in Christian Studies from Louisiana College, studied at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and previously served as Director of Communication & Strategic Initiatives at College Park Church in Indianapolis.^4 Before launching Churchlytics, he helped dozens of churches and businesses through Bigger Orbit, a branding and digital development agency.^4
